Re: Josh Freese sells himself - price list
He works hard for the money
Josh Freese Is Going To Redefine "Value-Added"
It's hard not to like the way that journeyman drummer Josh Freese is trying to make a few extra bucks from the release of his new album, Since 1972. Where else can you purchase an album, a drum lesson, a few previously worn outfits and a trip to a strip club with a semi-famous drummer for only $2,500?
Freese left Nine Inch Nails late last year in order to spend more time with his children, which is an admirable goal. Since he likely made more money as a for-hire touring drummer than he did recording drum tracks for an Abandoned Pools disc, he's got to make up that lost income somehow. Why not offer twenty different album packages, priced between $7 and $75,000?
$7
-Digital Download of "Since 1972" (including 3 videos)
$15
-CD/DVD Double Disc Set
-Digital Download
$50
-CD/DVD Double Disc Set
-T-shirt
-"Thank You" phone call from Josh for buying Since 1972. You can tell him what you like about the record that you purchased, or what you thought sucked. Ask whatever you want, like "Is Maynard really THAT weird?" or "Which on of Sting's mansions has the comfiest beds?" or "Are Devo really Suburban Robots that monitor reality or just a bunch of Dads from Ohio?" or "Why don't the Vandals play more stuff off the first record?" It's your 5 minutes to yack it up. Talk about whatever you want.

-Take a flying trapeze lesson with Josh and Robin from NIN, go back to Robin's place afterwards and his wife will make you raw lasagna.
If the Volvo's model year is right, I think I found what I'm going to get my wife for her birthday. Although I find the $250 T-shirt / signed snare drum / lunch with Freese package to be quite a bargain, too. If you're just curious as to what Freese sounds like on his own (his first album, The Notorious One Man Orgy, was a solid piece of powerpop), a digital copy of the album complete with three music videos is only $7. But you don't get lunch with that, so plan accordingly.

Any jokes about Axl taking up Freese's offer...
